真 —— 真人得道以升天
真心 真意 真诚 真情
至真求真理
在谎言的沙漠上播种真理
真理的种子就会将沙漠变成绿洲
将真理的火种撒向黑暗
黑暗就会被点燃

善 —— 上善若水 柔爱之心
善心 善良 善意 善举
至善做善人
污泥中之纯洁凌波仙子
莲花的芳香会驱除污秽
将善的福音播向尘世
尘埃会被荡涤干净

忍 —— 心上一把刀 能之最
忍耐 忍让 忍辱 忍受
容天下难容之人
忍天下难忍之事
忍 绝不是逃离回避 ——
是可忍 孰不可忍
该出手时就出手
与爱同行 与正义同舟

至真 至善 至忍 —— 至美
上帝是永恒的美
无法用言辞形容之美
真善忍 为人之本 为人之道
真善忍 人性之美
唯真善忍可拯救人类
唯真善忍可带来光明之未来

Ode to “Truthfulness – Compassion – Forbearance”
By Yiyan Han (c) 2020-12-29 (first completed on 2018-01-07)

Truthfulness includes
“honesty, veracity, sincerity, no deceit, trustworthiness
genuineness, candidness, frankness, openness, forthrightness”
Be true to always seek the truth
speak the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth
Once the truth is sown on the deserted land of lies
the seeds of truth will turn the desert into an oasis
Once the kindling of truth is sprinkled into the darkness
the darkness will burn out in seconds

Compassion includes
“kindness, big-hearted, goodwill, benignity, benevolence
thoughtfulness, decency, public-spirited, social conscience
consideration, charity, altruism, humanity, philanthropy, goodness”
Be kind to be a good person
The lotus flower rises from the sludge of water
and her aromatic fragrance expels the foul odour
When the seeds of kindness are sprinkled into the earth
the dirty dust of humanity will turn into the fertile land of conscience

Forbearance includes
“tolerance, patience, resignation, fortitude, stoicism, endurance
long-suffering, leniency, clemency, indulgence”
Be tolerant to those hard to be tolerated
To endure those hard to be bearable
Yet one should not run away from challenges:
When devil attacks one should fight back
and must always seek justice with a loving heart

To the limit of truthfulness – compassion – forbearance
is to stretch our hands to the Beauty, and the eternal Beauty
the eternal God that we cannot describe Him in words
The truthfulness – compassion – forbearance
is what a human should be a human
the beauty of humanity, the only salvation of the world
and the only hope for us to have a bright future
